In the dark, I turned around, there was a dead silence behind me, Lao Pan and Da Kui were still the same, standing there silently, lining up, bowing their heads and hanging their hands, like dead corpses.

I suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness, a cold feeling behind my back, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead.

Am I the only one left?

The night breeze is gentle, and there is only a red lantern at the mouth of the village in the whole village, emitting a strange red light, and there is no sound around, as if there is no living thing left.

I settled down, stepped forward to check the situation of several of them, first tried to breathe, fortunately, although weak, but normal, should belong to the hypnotized sleep, not dead.

I reached out and grabbed Lao Pan's wrist, his pulse was very weak, and it took a long time to beat like that, and then I rolled his eyelids, good fellow, a white eye.

I'm ready to save them, although I've never encountered this before, but every time I saw my master have an evil disease, whether it's crying, cramping, or sleeping, I always stretch out my thumb and pinch it hard in the middle of the person to ensure that it will immediately return to normal.

However, as soon as I stretched out my hand, there was a strange sound next to me, like something gurgling, I raised my vigilance, this hand did not press down, turned my head and glanced to the side a few times, and quickly determined the direction of the sound.

It's from Da Kui!

I walked over with my footsteps, and I didn't dare to breathe, and stopped a meter away next to Da Kui, this guy is tall and strong, and I have to give myself a safe range, so as not to be caught by him as soon as he reaches out......

The gurgling sound continued, and it was clear that it was coming from Da Kui's body, but when I listened closely, it turned out that this guy was snoring......

I suddenly became angry, this heart is too big, this kind of snoring when it's fatal, I guess it's just him.

I stretched out my hand and tried to give him two more soles, which was one of the ways to ward off evil spirits, just like before.

But before I could take off my shoes, someone suddenly spoke not far behind me.

"Why are you here?"

I was shocked, stunned in place, looked up, but it turned out to be that Su He, I saw something vaguely in his hand, but I couldn't see it clearly, and walked straight towards us.

"We ...... Hehe, have you forgotten? "I'm a little speechless, didn't he just say in that council chamber that we're going to bet on running away tonight, why did he ask so strangely?

"Oh, by the way, you're going to run away." He walked over with a mumble to himself, looked at Lao Pan and the others, and gradually showed a smug smile on his face, as if this qiē had already been expected by him.

"How's it going, throwing in the towel, right? I knew it would be like this, but you are very special, and Brother An really did not say it wrong. ”

"What do you mean? You make it clear, let's not talk about whether you lose or not, who is Brother An who you always talk about? ”

"Brother An? Didn't you already see him? ”

"You're talking about, the cold-faced young man?"

This Su He didn't hide it, he nodded with a smile at the moment, and I suddenly realized that it was him.

He smiled again and said to me: "If you admit defeat now, we don't have to toss, just wait for everyone to wake up tomorrow and do it according to the gambling contract, don't worry, what Great Elder Moyr means is not to ask for all of you to have one soul, he just wants to try which of you has the right soul, at most only one person will remain." ”

I was surprised, "What does this mean, whose soul is suitable?" What is appropriate, and what exactly are you going to do? ”

Su He didn't speak directly, but first stuffed the things in his hand into his waist, and then I saw clearly that it was a wooden stick wrapped in a soft cloth and a long-handled wooden stick.

It turned out that he was the one who played the shift just now.

"Do you remember Ah Li?" He opened his mouth to me.

I nodded, of course I remember, the crazy woman who tossed us all night, how could she not remember?

"Actually, the one you saw just now is Ah Li. But it can also be said that she is not Ah Li. Because, the real Ah Li, who is now lying in the house sleeping, she doesn't know anything about what happened here. ”

Su He said, suddenly sighing, his eyes full of complicated expressions.

I'm confused, what does he mean?

He seemed to have guessed that I would be puzzled, and without waiting for me to ask, he explained it himself.

"I'll tell you the truth, Ah Li had an accident five years ago and almost died. It was Brother An who happened to pass by and save her, but she was greatly stimulated, and her soul was scattered, and she would wander around the village every night......"

I opened my mouth wide in surprise: "No, do you mean that what we just met was Ah Li's out-of-body soul wandering around?" ”

Su He sighed again: "That's the case, she left the village without permission that time, so in her subconscious, she didn't want anyone to leave the village, so she would stop you." You don't have to be lucky, her consciousness is very strong, except for Brother An is her benefactor, she always remembers it, anyone who doesn't sleep at night will be regarded as an enemy by her. ”

It's really speechless, what is this? I've only heard of sleepy insects that can make people sleep, and there is another kind of sleepy ghost who also likes to make people sleepy, but this is the first time I've seen this kind of out-of-body watching the whole village sleep in the middle of the night and not letting people come out to move.

Strictly speaking, can this be considered a type of extreme obsessive-compulsive disorder?

But I still don't understand, just by her mentality, she can control the actions of the whole village, and even let me just now chant the Diamond Sutra, I still fell in love with her Tao, and went around in a circle in a daze, this kind of ability, I'm afraid it's not a person who is out of the body, can do it?

I looked at Su He suspiciously, and asked my question, Su He frowned, as if it was a little difficult to speak, and thought for a long time before saying to me: "To talk about it in detail, the situation is a bit complicated, in fact, the people in our village are like this at night." Every nightfall, it was as if a terrible devil appeared and hypnotized everyone until after dawn. ”

"W-What's going on?" I was even more surprised, what kind of fuss is this, sleeping collectively at night? This is simply more unbelievable and unheard of than that out-of-body thing.

Su He also showed a strange look on his face, shook his head and said: "Actually, I don't know what's going on, this custom in the village has continued for more than a hundred years. There is also the matter of Ah Li's out-of-body soul, I don't understand, but Brother An once said that it was because Ah Li had a soul or a soul wandering out, so she became a little crazy, and her subconscious always wanted to get back her lost soul, so she would be out of body at night. The only way to restore her to normal is to either retrieve her soul or find a soul that can be replaced, so this is why Grand Elder Moyr wants you to stay. ”

Uh, so that's it? I looked at Su He in a daze, and suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help blurting out angrily: "It turns out that you brought us here for this?" ”

He was a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm here to save my sister." ”

When he said this, I fully understood that he was Ah Li's brother.

"Actually, bringing you here is not just for the soul, because I don't have much hope for them at all, in the past few years, there have been many people who have broken into this forbidden land, but no one is eligible, I think it is impossible to use other people's souls to make up for another person's soul. The reason why I brought you here is because of a sentence from Brother An. ”

"Brother An's words, what did he say?" I suppressed the anger in my heart and continued to ask, anyway, now through his mouth, I must at least get things clear.

Su He suddenly glanced at me mysteriously, and then lowered his voice and said: "Brother An told me that if you meet a person with a dead face in the past few days, you must bring it back, because only he can save Ah Li and save our village." ”

After he said this, he stared at me with a glittering gaze, and my heart was shocked, and my face was dead, could this be me?
